Boys cross country team sprints past the competition

It was a blustery, cold afternoon and a cup of hot chocolate would have been a nice way to end the day.

But instead of heading home after school, the boys and girls cross country teams were warming up, stretching and working on their running form, hoping to finish their already victorious seasons with a few more wins.

The boys varsity team won the Colonial Council Championship for the second year in a row by winning all seven of its class C, section 2 league meets.

Ranked first in the section, the boys varsity team also won the Colonial Council Championship meet on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at Saratoga.

The teams will take to their courses on Nov. 3 for the sectional meet, at Saratoga Spa State Park.

The girls cross country team has also had an excellent season, winning six of the seven meets in its league, finishing second in the Colonial Council Champtionship meet, winning both the Grout Run and Galway Invitational and finishing second at the Burnt Hills Invitational.
